I do believe, however, I am not so sure about devine intervention. There is alot of hurting people, all needed God to help their pain. My God does not pick one person over another because he prayed harder. Two little kids dying asking for life, my God does not pick one to live over the other little kid. I am not sure what prayer does, but ease our hearts, and give us hope that there is better to follow in the next life. This life has alot of evil, and many obsticals for everybody. Maybe as humans we need to help each other more, and get our governments to stop warfare alltogether. Think what a good world it would be if we could stop making war, and start working on those grave illnesses that plague our bodies. I pray alot, always, in hopes that a little miracle can happen for us all. I don't care what faith people have, or what affiliation of church we all are. We all are children of God. Perhaps we didn't do enough down here to help each other. I question, just like all of you do. take care, ginnie
